Drew Smith is Founder and Executive Director of The Union - A Midwest Transguy Coterie. He created the group in 2011 in order to fulfill a support/social need for himself and the Kansas City, female-to-male, transgender community. The brotherhood started with 6 other transmen meeting in his small, apartment living room and has since grown to a 210+ member, local collective that obtained Non-Profit and 501(c)3 status in July of 2016.

He attended Centriq Training in Leawood, KS in 2011 and completed the I.T. Network Administration program. He works in the heart of downtown at a law firm, as an
Enterprise Business Solutions Specialist.

He married his wife in 2013 and they welcomed their son into the world in June of 2018. They all live in Olathe, Kansas along with their two dogs, Toby and Noah.

Drew started his own transition from
female-to-male on December 21st, 2010.
